Do You and Your Spouse Need a Financial Timeout?

The average American couple fights about money 5 times a month. Carrie Sloan, Editor in Chief of LearnVest is here to share the best ways to communicate your family's budget, so those little fights don't turn into big ones.

we don't fight about money--or about anything, really. It would be better if we did b/c it would at least be some communication.

A year and a half ago we took Financial Peace University classes and we have been very strict about our finances since then. Still not doing a written monthly budget (we're supposed to do it TOGETHER and DH is not cooperating), but we are working hard to pay off debts. We have to say "no" a lot, but it's worth it to become debt-free!!

We communicate really well about money. We have a budget that we stick to and extra money we always talk about where we want to use it. We will have to re-work our budget when we move this summer and our expenses change but we won't have a problem doing that.
